  • DECONSTRUCTION: "Setting Captives Free"


    The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

    Isaiah 61:1-3a

  • SACRED MOMENTS OF RESURRECTION (WK 2): "No Easter Showcase! Just Sacred Moments" Pt. 2

    Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 28, 2019

    As we clock our weekly hours, as we recount our past years, Lord there’s such temptation to look back with dissatisfaction, to compare our journeys with others’. Even as we follow You, God, self-doubt and fear of insufficiency follow us. They creep in like thieves and misdirect our attention. A million little moments we nearly miss and yet, in this brokenness...

    Lord, we welcome You here.

    Spirit, give us eyes to see You and the paths You’ve called each of us to uniquely follow.

    Lord, we welcome You here.

    As we stumble, as we compare, as we doubt, Lord clarify our vision. It’s so easy to lose sight of Your quiet presence in our lives when we seek something special and glimmering. In the ordinary moments of Your living resurrection...

    Lord, we welcome You here.

    God, remove the scales from our eyes. Remove the dust and specks. Help us to see You clearly. Stir in us a patience and a mindfulness for all You have in store for us now and in the moments to come.

    Lord, we welcome You here and we invite You to stay here, now and forever. Amen.

  • SACRED MOMENTS OF RESURRECTION (WK 1): "No Easter Showcase! Just Sacred Moments"
    More than showcasing his resurrection to the world, Jesus is passionate about speaking sacred moments of resurrection life into our existence. ‘Peace be with you’ is just one of the ways Jesus speaks God's new world into our experience of Good Friday tragedies and Holy Saturday silence and grief. Our sorrow, fear, skepticism and comparisons will be transformed as we become aware of these sacred moments being spoken to us.

  • STILL BE OUR VISION, O RULER OF ALL (WK 6): "Making Space for a Kingdom of Communion"

    Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 14, 2019

    God, Creator of our world, artist of our hearts, author of our stories, we come to you with tired bones and white knuckles, as we attempt to hold on so tightly to what isn’t ours.  

    We acknowledge your presence as it fills this room through the breath from our lungs.  

    You are the beginning and the end, we come to You. 

    You feel our anxieties and you see our struggle. You know the weight of what we carry, let us let You lighten this load. 
    Lord, relieve us. 

    Help us to see You in every space of our hearts, stories, and individual worlds. In the spaces that may be seen but also in the unseen. 
    Lord, reveal to us. 

    Let us be in awe of the immensity of your Spirit. Let the vastness of your love, overwhelm us.
    Lord, inspire us. 

    Meet us in the darkness where our questions cast shadows, may the light of your love draw us in close.
    Lord, lead us. 

    As we come together with others in community, reveal to us your beauty through the hearts you gave them. 
    Lord, pursue us.

     Let us pay attention to your meticulous detail and care as the robust colors of Spring reveal themselves.
    Lord, show us.

    May we never take for granted your intimate nearness. May we see, hear, and feel you all around us.  Unite us together through the shared struggles and joys of our lives. As we seek, we find our identities in You, everlasting strength and infinite love.  Amen

  • STILL BE OUR VISION, O RULER OF ALL (WK 5): "A Kingdom of Joy"

    | Mosaic Gathering Prayer: April 7, 2019

    Father of us all
    We bring our hearts, minds and bodies before You this morning.
    Anything that is anxious and scattered within us, we still.

    We center ourselves in this place, in our chairs, in our bodies.
    And we open ourselves to You.

    Holy Father, You created our hearts and You know our hungers.

    Sweet Spirit, You dwell within us and You see our thirst.

    Strong Brother, You walked among us and You know our pain.

    We invite You into the broken places in our hearts;
    Dear Lord, bring healing.

    We invite You into the anxious places in our minds;
    Dear Lord, bring calm.

    We invite You to bless anything unloved in our bodies;
    Dear Lord, bring affirmation.

    We invite You to touch any strife in our relationships;
    Dear Lord, bring grace.

    We invite You to hold any pain in our lives;
    Dear Lord, bring peace.

    We invite You into our homes, our neighborhoods, our city, our country;
    Dear Lord, bring restoration.

    We invite you into our world;
    Dear Lord, bring love.

    Together, we affirm the reality of the abundant life You offer.
    Together, we pray for an ever-increasing experience of this abundance.

    We lay our doubts and our frustrations in Your hands.
    And receive from You, 
    Joy.
